The Seven Weeks Are Over...

But you can still read all about them here. Seven Weeks to Madagascar was my first weblog, written during the weeks leading up to my wife's and my July 2000 trip to (where else?) Madagascar. To learn more, read the About page written at the outset, and then start working your way through the archives:

Note that, like most weblogs, entries are in reverse-chronological order within each week. To read them as a continuous narrative, start at the bottom of each page and work up. Or read them backwards for that genuine Philip K. Dick/Martin Amis effect.

Some links have broken and more no doubt will, but there's still plenty to read here. When you're done, head over to the sequel, Walking West, which chronicles the months after Madagascar. If you'd rather skip straight to the travel anecdotes, try this shorter index of Madagascar entries posted as a trial run for a longer travelogue. And if you're after more about Madagascar's political crisis of 2001-02, I've been covering that too.
